A couple of Lizzie*Kate Pictures

Friends Make Life a Little Sweeter -

and Friendship Grows -

and I'm nearly finished Peace and Plenty by Little House Needleworks - I should be finishing it tonight, but I might do a quick RR first, then I can send it off with another one tomorrow.

I've got sooooo much I want to stitch right now, wouldn't it be absolute heaven to be able to stitch for hours and hours every day ... one day :)

In other news, I took our 9yo (Cameron) to get his eyes tested today, he used to wear glasses a few years ago, went through a specialist, a couple of years ago the specialist signed him off saying he was okay now - still long-sighted but his eyes were able to manage it without glasses. Over the past few months we've noticed little things, like not being able to read the scoreboard at the cricket, that made us wonder if he wasn't seeing properly. Well, turns out he is very long sighted and has been fitted for glasses, for now only a third of the strong prescription he needs to let his eyes adjust ... he is NOT a happy boy and is still saying he WILL NOT wear glasses ... *sigh* I see some major bribery in our future. The worrying this is that this our little sporting wonder, I hope once he starts wearing them and his eyes relax and adjust that he can still see okay to not wear them while playing soccer.

Only 10 sleeps until I go away for my weekend ... all ALONE ... I can't wait!

About Me

My name is Lisa, I was originally Stitchie Kiwi, I've just changed my name to the more appropriate Running Kiwi :)
I started on a weight loss journey which has become a journey to run the London Marathon, through the pure luck of a Spot Prize.
I've started this blog for my own benefit, I want to remember and look back on how far I've come, but also to (hopefully!) inspire others, I know I'm inspired by the journeys of many other people.
The basics of me - married to David (since 1989), five children - David Jnr, Josh, Cameron, Rhiannon and Charlotte ranging from 18yo to 8yo.
